With fall’s chill in full force, it’s time to give your wardrobe a layered reboot. In other words: It’s coat season! Ditch your basic black peacoat and take a cue from the runways, which have never been more chock-full of stylish outerwear options. Maximalists can work the Gucci-girl look with a cheery printed number like the one seen at right. Bombers are having a major comeback (and show no signs of going anywhere anytime soon), while the moto jacket has gotten a shiny makeover in a rainbow of metallics. Puffers reinvent themselves in smart, colorful shapes, while shearlings show their softer side in neutral hues. But the winning color and silhouette is undoubtedly the pink duster —it’s not only practical, but pretty to boot. Who says fashion and function can’t go hand in hand during those dreary winter days?

The season’s most ubiquitous shape — long, lean and pretty — in its most irresistible hue.
